This was the second time I have stayed in the apartment complex. The location is great, the complex has a beautiful garden, and the gym and swimming pool are excellent. For people who don’t want to walk the ten minutes or so to the BTS station, there’s a fairly regular shuttle bus.
The apartment is comfortable, and small touches like providing 2 small bottles of water, toothbrushes, and slippers made it even more so. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and the hosts responded to mail quickly.
The apartment is overall wonderful, but I think there are two things that absolutely must be looked at. To be fair to the hosts, I didn’t mention either of these things until I checked out.
The first is that the lock on the door was in bad condition. It was loose and partly hanging off the door.
The second was cleanliness. The sheets and towels were very clean, but in some other areas, the level of cleanliness was pretty poor. There were two large PET bottles that were about half filled with water left in the kitchen cabinet. It’s hard to know how long they had been there. There were some parts of the room that look like they had never been cleaned. There was a lot of dust on top of the fridge and lights and all over the room. There were big pieces of dust under the bed, the bench, and the chairs. The floor of the shower stall was very dirty. I cleaned some of these things, but whoever does the cleaning has to do a much, much better job.
A few smaller issues: the hosts gave incorrect information on the wifi network in the room at first, but gave me the correct network soon after I was able to write them from a cafe with internet access. The shower drain was also quite clogged. The sound-proofing is such that you hear your neighbors quite clearly, although this is obviously something beyond the hosts’ control.
If the above-mentioned issues get resolved, it’s a great place to stay.
